New T350C owner signing in
Discussion
Picked it up 7 weeks and 1700 miles ago and so far I'm chuffed to bits with it.
A few questions though:
A few questions though:
- Could someone please tell me what the correct ride height is front and rear (measured to the outriggers) as I occasionally suffer from rubbing on both rear arches under full compression? I think the new suspension has settled about 1-2cm lower at the rear since they were fitted.
- Is it possible to move the seats slightly from side to side? The passenger seat touches the roll cage and the squeaking can be annoying.
- Is there away of reducing the boomy exhaust at around 2000-2300RPM? If not I'll just keep driving around it.

Can't help with 1, place washers under the seat bolts (from inside the car) to tilt the seat away from the side. As for 3, you can but it would probably involve replacing the exhaust . T350 is worse than the tam as there is no boot as such to separate the cabin from the exhaust
Brilliant I'll try shimming the seat to see if that helps.Zippee said:
Lovely car!!!
With regards to the exhaust, this may sound a little odd but get a louder JP - it eliminates all the low rev boom, sounds great but doesn't really create much more in cabin noise!
I'll have to get myself to a couple of meets and see what is available then. With regards to the exhaust, this may sound a little odd but get a louder JP - it eliminates all the low rev boom, sounds great but doesn't really create much more in cabin noise!

I can see that it is shod with nearly new Goodyear Eagles. Are the rears the standard 235/40 ZR18 or something larger/wider?
My T350 has Goodyears all round on standard suspension and doesn't get close to rubbing.
The tyres are the standard size front and rear. I'll try and jack it up this weekend and raising the suspension slightly.My T350 has Goodyears all round on standard suspension and doesn't get close to rubbing.

Welcome to the Mad-House
nice one
think your T is pretty low ,not much space between Tyre to Wheel-Arch!
or did you have a dead Body in?
all the best for you and your Toy.

Thanks. I think the photo is slightly deceptive as there is around a 2 and half fingers worth of air between the arch and the tyre when the car is empty.nice one

Thanks for the jack suggestions. I'd already had a quick look at the options but I think I'll hold fire for a while longer before splashing out as I don't often work on cars due my garage being quite small.

Bear in mind that shimming to angle the seat away from the 'cage' will tilt the seat and affect your seating/driving position slightly. My back is way better since removing some washers to tilt the seat back harder against the cage and putting a tiny bit of lube where the rub is; silicone or similar, not engine oil,.
Interesting. I've got some silicon lubricant and will give it a go before I look into shimming.Bear in mind that shimming to angle the seat away from the 'cage' will tilt the seat and affect your seating/driving position slightly.
